When you or a loved one needs critical care services, Roane Medical Center is here for you. We believe in prompt, efficient service. We understand patients in our intensive care area need specialized care – not only because they are very sick, but because their medical needs are unique.
We developed our Intensive Care Unit with our patients in mind:
- Roane Medical Center has six private suites for persons with life-threatening conditions.
- Treatment and progress are continually monitored. We offer 24-hour observation, joining skilled human care with the latest bedside technology.
- Specially trained physicians, nurses and technicians provide state-of-the-art medical care. Nurses are trained in advanced cardiac life support.
- Doctors are available around the clock to admit patients to Critical Care and provide consultations in cardiology and other specialties.
Visitor guidelines:
To help patients conserve strength and receive care without interruption, Roane Medical Center asks that family members and other visitors observe the visitation guidelines posted in the unit.
- Only one person may visit a patient at a time, per stay.
- Flowers aren’t allowed in ICU. Please do not order flowers, balloons, etc., for patients to be delivered to the ICU.
- Patients in ICU wear hospital gowns, so family members are asked to take the patients’ clothing and valuables home.
- If you need to speak to the doctor or have any needs or expectations, please inform the nurse taking care of your loved one.
- Please contact the patient’s nurse with any problems or concerns you may have.
For Your Convenience:
A comfortable family waiting area is located near the Emergency Room waiting on the first floor of the hospital. The ICU waiting is equipped with sleep chairs, a shower for family members, TV, and conveniently located near the vending and ATM area. A consult room is also available to families so the physician can discuss the care of their loved one.
